Jordanian sheikh: Allah gave the land of Israel to the Jews

Al Quds and other Arab media outlets published this amazing article this weekend:

Jordanian sheikh: Allah gave the land of Israel to the Jews

Sheikh Ahmad Adwan, who introduces himself as a Muslim scholar who lives in Jordan, said on his personal Facebook page that there is no such thing as “Palestine” in the Koran. Allah has assigned the Holy Land to the Children of Israel until the Day of Judgment (Koran, Sura 5 – “The Sura of the Table”, Verse 21), and “We made the Children of Israel the inheritors (of the land)” (Koran, Sura 26 – “The Sura of the Poets”, Verse 59).

“I say to those who distort their Lord’s book, the Koran: From where did you bring the name Palestine, you liars, you accursed, when Allah has already named it “The Holy Land” and bequeathed it to the Children of Israel until the Day of Judgment. There is no such thing as ‘Palestine’ in the Koran. Your demand for the Land of Israel is a falsehood and it constitutes an attack on the Koran, on the Jews and their land. Therefore you won’t succeed, and Allah will fail you and humiliate you, because Allah is the one who will protect them (i.e. the Jews).”

The sheikh added: “The Palestinians are the killers of children, the elderly and women. They attack the Jews and then they use those (children, the elderly and women) as human shields and hide behind them, without mercy for their children as if they weren’t their own children, in order to tell the public opinion that the Jews intended to kill them. This is exactly what I saw with my own two eyes in the 70’s, when they attacked the Jordanian army, which sheltered and protected them. Instead of thanking it (the Jordanian army), they brought their children forward to (face) the Jordanian army, in order to make the world believe that the army kills their children. This is their habit and custom, their viciousness, their having hearts of stones towards their children, and their lying to public opinion, in order to get its support.”

It is worth mentioning, that the above mentioned sheikh visited Israel and met Jewish religious scholars. The “Israel in Arabic” site conducted an interview with him, in which he said that the reason for his openness towards the Jewish people “comes from my acknowledgment of their sovereignty on their land and my belief in the Koran, which told us and emphasized this in many places, like His (Allah’s) saying ”Oh People (i.e the Children of Israel), enter the Holy Land which Allah has assigned unto you” (Koran, Sura 5 – “The Sura of the Table”, Verse 21), and His saying “We made the Children of Israel the inheritors (of the land)” (Koran, Sura 26 – “The Sura of the Poets”, Verse 59) and many other verses.

He (Adwan) added: “(The Jews) are peaceful people who love peace, who are not hostile and are not aggressors, but if they are attacked, they defend themselves while causing as little damage to the attackers as possible. It is an honor for them that Allah has chosen them over the worlds – meaning over the people and the Jinns until the Day of Judgment. I made the reasons for Allah’s choice clear in my books and pamphlets. When Allah chose them, He didn’t do so out of politeness, and He wasn’t unjust other peoples, it is just that they (the Jews) deserved this.” [/wpex]

The Israel in Arabic site, which appears to be an Israeli site, has a much fuller interview in Arabic.

When Adwan visited Safed (Tzfat), it was covered by Israel’s Orot TV:

מיוחדים – למי שייכת ארץ ישראל? Specials – Who owns the land of Israel?

What does a bride do at the vigil on her wedding day?

Women in Green

We are going now into our sixth day of the vigil. The response by the people and by so many politicians, who all come to identify with the message of Sovereignty, is overwhelming and very moving. The People of Israel are strong, love Eretz Yisrael and want their Prime Minister to stand firm.

On Wednesday, the fourth day of the vigil, activity in the tent of the vigil with the motto “The Mothers say YES to Israeli Sovereignty over Judea, Samaria and the Jordan Valley” continued to gain momentum. Many public figures came to the tent as well. Mothers from throughout the land came to express solidarity.

The surprise of the day was when Sapir Sabah arrived with her mother, Nurit, directly from the Knesset. Sapir displays leadership ability. She does not accept the results of the hearing for her teacher of Jewish Philosophy, who criticized the IDF and its soldiers saying that our army is not ethical and that this land is not ours. “I would give up if he was sorry and had expressed regret, but he continues his incitement.”

Next came Rebbetzin Shani Taragin, who, in honor of the month of Adar, brought biblical references to overeignty from the Scroll of Esther, from the passage “Each person rules in his house”. The passage implies that the People of Israel must be sovereign in its Land. The lesson ended with the connection between oshua’s conquest and Purim. Just as the Holy One, blessed be He, aided Joshua in girding himself to be ourageous, so the Holy One, blessed be He, will help if we make an effort and take initiative.

There was a surprise awaiting MK Moti Yogev of the Bayit HaYehudi (Jewish Home) party after he finished his ords of blessing and solidarity to the organizers and spoke about the importance of applying sovereignty over the entire Land of Israel. A bride in a white dress came to the tent. She wanted to enter the wedding canopy only after having done a deed for the national home, before building her private home.

The bride is Efrat Leshem, the granddaughter of the Ganiram family, who are among the founders of ommunities in Hebron and the Golan Heights.

If, even on the day of her wedding, a bride sees fit to take part in the national struggle, then the People of Israel will surely be victorious.

During the evening Yochai Dimri, the new energetic head of the Council of South Hebron, came to the tent, as well as MK Moshe Feiglin, Rebbetzin Lior, Rabbi Yisrael Dorminetzer from the Jordan Valley with his family, Rabbi Haim Greenspan and Sarah Eliash.

The vigil, organized by Women in Green in cooperation with Matot Arim and Professors for a Strong Israel, continues on Thursday, Friday and Sunday.
